And yet he deliberately throws every OBJ
stacle he can in the way of the admins
tration in its fight against the boodlers.
The major, it will be seen, is a great
joker.

Judge MOODY has fallen in with the
gang who are making desperate efforts
to shield the Yankton boodlers. But
this was to be expected, He knows he
must stand in with ''the old guard" or
lose his chances for a few years of Off
cial life at Washington. The partisan
yell must not be allowed to die out.

The Republican press is making a
great ado about the growing sentiment
against Gov. CHURCH in regard to the
YanktOn asylum matter. But they al
ways refer to it as the ''public senti-
ment in this section is strong" etc. The
individuals who are boiling over with
Indignation never come out and give
their names. If they did the head of an
Office-seeker. or one who had a direct
personal interest in preventing the in
vestigation of boodleism in Dakota
would be seen. The honest masses of
the people approve of the action of Gov.
CHURCH, and all this arrant hue and cry
cannot deceive them.

Trustee VAN TAssEL has not yet re-
signed. In the same connection it might
be well to state that Gov. CHURCH still
keeps the $4,000 out of the reach of the
bOOdlerS.

The editor of the Milbank Graphic
talks like true gentleman and honor
able journalist about his unfortunate
tOwnsman, Capt. A. III. SENS. What a
pity there are not more like him in the
profession.
CALDWELL, of Sioux Falls, Major Ed
WARDS, of Fargo, WHEELoCK, of Nit
chell; Hon. JOHN A. REA. of Bismarck
and Elder CREssY, of Huron, are sus-
pected of editing the Gov. PIERcE's Da-
kOta edition during the latter's absence
on vacation. Ten to one that either of
them would be ashamed to acknowl-
edge it.
Senator DAWES is for the DAWES bill
for opening the reservation. That is
plain. ButWould he favor any bill that
did not have DAWES in it's titles? Mr..
DAWES is not so aged that the spirit of
vanity has oozed entirely from his
bosom.
A Brookings correspondent raises the
point that the territorial military en-
campments are too expensive. This
view would probably meet with the cor
dial approval of Coils. BROWN and
WEBB.
Col. DAN SCOTT seems to have put his
foot in it in telling that story about his
duel with DOMAIN. The fatal flaw in the
cOlOneFs narrative is where he tells of
their meeting at the depot, when in fact
there wasn't railroad or depot within
800 miles. Col. SCOTT must do something
to clear up the record and square him
self with the people of Dakota.
Fargo people are indulging in some
queer arguments about local option and
high license, and connecting all kinds
of funny schemes to head off the cat, no
matter which way it jumps, There is
liable to be some hair pulling within
the ensuing brief period.

GA Tale of Medora,' in to-day's
GLOBE, is one of the choicest contribu-
lions to current literature that has been
offered to the public for a long time.

There is one thing that this present
Democratic administration has not been
given credit for by anybody yet. 1 re-
fer to the yield of wheat this year. 1t
will be remembered that before the
Democratic party came into power it
was favorite argument with their op-
ponents that the crops could only be
good under Republican rule. This claim
has been most gloriously dissipated
under the present administration. There
is no year in the history of the territory
when the yield Of wheat has been any
where as large as it is this year. Not
only is Dakota's yield large, when COM
pared with her former efforts in this
direction, but in comparison with the
wheat yield of other states it is still
more in Dakota's favor. Dakota has
more than 60,0O0,0O0 bushels of wheat
this year. 1t is an astounding record,
and will speak louder in Dakota's favor
than any other arguments that could be
propounded.

Editor LEWIS shows the true spirit of
the Dakotan. In the very teeth of dire
adversely he rattles off an interesting
screed about the politics of the territory.
